ABOUT THE PROJECT
“FIRST AID WORLDWIDE” IS AN ERASMUS+ K202 PARTNERSHIP FORMED BY 5 SECONDARY VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS FROM SERBIA, PORTUGAL, SPAIN, TURKEY AND MACEDONIA. THE MAIN THEME OF THE PROJECT IS FIRST AID.
Everywhere in the world, first aid is the basic knowledge that an individual needs to master in order to be able to help their loved ones and themselves in crisis situations. Knowledge
and providing first aid is a must for everyone and should be part of a general culture. It is very important for young people to know and understand the importance of providing help at a
given moment. First aid is an act of saving lives, but it is also a reflection of humanity, altruism and a sense of need for other people and first aid knowledge should be part of citizens’ health culture.
AIMS
The aims of the project:
- to improve the quality of providing first aid for general population
- creating an online manual as well as training for using the manual
- training the teachers to introduce the innovations in teaching First Aid
- creating the seminar for applying innovative methods in First Aid based on the online manual
- promotion of introduction and application of online manual in schools and institutions.
WORK PROCESS
Each participating school in this project seeks to utilize their knowledge and be able to find the most effective ways to provide first aid in their area of expertise.
During the project…
The Turkish partner will explore new ways for bending, which will save time in dealing with certain injuries, as well as new ways and new means that can be used to stop bleeding in the field.
The North Macedonian partner will explore new types of realistic display materials that are easier to model, cost less, easier for procure and are not harmful to health and also what new injuries can make up that have not worked so far.
The partner from Portugal will be tasked with finding new ways of applying first aid for blast injuries and backlog injuries (injuries to objects that cause body compression). They will explore how to facilitate the operation of the new immobilization method and shorten the first aid procedure for firefighting.
The Spanish partner will be in charge of AED research.They will conduct a survey to find the best AED performance trainer, and will also conduct a cardiopulmonary resuscitation study to determine which ratio in the number of massage and inhalation is the best, or what range gives the best effect and for this research they will need the best trainer on which to perform the testing.
The coordinator school from Kragujevac will be tasked with implementing into its competencies all of the partners' results and according to its research, which deals with the most common types of care for injured people in real life situations, to produce videos of injury management in an innovative way (traffic accident and traffic injuries accidents, fire, etc.) that would be realistically made up and played.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The expected results are:
- new ways of presenting realistic injuries, with new materials and showing new injuries that they have not shown before
- new ways of applying the head bandage that would be easier to learn and would take less time to apply
- improved lessons at schools by using the online manual; providing first aid in an easier way and making it easier for the students to learn and apply what they have learnt
